Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 5 cups of baby spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, which should take around 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 3 ounces of crumbled feta cheese. Allow it to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1.5 teaspoons of minced rosemary, the zest of 1/2 lemon, 1 grated clove of garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Assembly
- Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the pork tenderloin, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
- Open the tenderloin and pound it to an even thickness.
- Spoon the spinach and feta filling into the pocket, spreading evenly, then fold the pork back over.
- Secure the tenderloin with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Place in a baking dish and drizzle the topping over it.
Cooking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve sliced into medallions, garnished with fresh herbs. Excellent with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or salads.
